AutoCAD Mechanical includes the very best of AutoCAD along with industry-specific libraries of parts and tools for mechanical engineering, making it a must-learn application for anyone involved in the design and construction of machinery. AutoCAD Mechanical is one of the toolsets available in one AutoCAD. This course covers the basics of the AutoCAD Mechanical 2018 user interface and leads you step-by-step through producing precise, measured mechanical engineering drawings and designs. Shaun Bryant teaches you how to structure your drawings and data, create and edit geometry, generate parts from the library, and annotate your drawings. Once your designs are adequately detailed, he shows how to create documentation and perform design calculations you'll need for manufacturing. Last but not least, learn how to create templates that are customized to suit your AutoCAD Mechanical workflow, complete with layers, properties, and parts lists.

Topics include:

Navigating the AutoCAD Mechanical 2018 interface

Managing layers and object properties

Structuring, reusing, and editing your mechanical data

Creating key geometry

Adding centerlines and holes

Manipulating geometry

Inserting parts with part generators

Creating drawing sheets

- [Shaun] Welcome to thisAutoCad Mechanical essentials course.In this course we'll be taking you throughall of the AutoCAD Mechanical softwareand getting you to become an efficient and effective userof that AutoCAD Mechanical software.We'll get you drawing robots, as you can see on the screen,using tools such as the mechanical browser here.Where if I expand out parts of the assembly,you can see I can go to the parts list,which is over here and I can highlight each elementof the mechanical assembly, like so.

And what I'll do here as well,is take you through all of the tools,the regular tools that you would use in AutoCAD Mechanical,such as the ribbon that you can seeat the top of the screen, the quick access toolbar,the info bar, and all of the settings and drafting settingsyou would use when you're working with AutoCAD Mechanical.So what we'll do now is get you into the course,we'll start getting you trained,and start becoming that effectiveand productive AutoCAD Mechanical user.
